Default Motoring in Victoria BC

I added a new "Motoring in Victoria" collection to Historypin that some of you might be interested in. Some of the more recent additions are of vehicles owned by some local businesses:

The Sidney Butcher

Homestead Farms

Alert Service Co.

Moore & Whittington

I figure the first two were photographed in Beacon Hill Park while the third was definitely taken on Quadra Street. The Moore & Whittington photo, the oldest, is a bit of mystery so if you have any information please let me know.

I'll wager the last truck is a variation on the Ford Model T truck. Judges?
